U20 FIFA World Cup 2019 (Poland)

I didnt watch the game, but 9 goals is unreal. Is the kid that good?

Or were Honduras that much of a disaster with the red cards?

Bit of both. Got his debut at like 15/16 under Ole at Molde so instantly got paper talk.

Alex Mendez has impressed; like to see him come through at Freiburg next season.

Some crackers here:

Ugh, US gets France in the round of 16. Guess we’ll see what they’re really made of.

 

[Nymzee]

New new Korean Messi.

 

[Nymzee]

Wow that Saudi goal:

 

[The Penny Blue]

If USA pull this off it will be golden generation confirmed.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Cuisance on the French team is a fantastic player.

 

[carolinablue232]

Gonna be quite a second half here

 

[carolinablue232]

If USA pull this off it will be golden generation confirmed.

That’s a stretch. Most of these kids will never see the field for the first team.

 

[Nymzee]

Awesome match. France have underwhelmed all tournament as favourites.

Your statement is a bit of a stretch.

One player on france’s team had more first team minutes that the whole of the USMNT starting 11. If that doesn’t scream in tapped talent idk what does. Not to mention we had more 17 and 18 year olds than 19 and 20 year olds on the field.

Idk who would actually even qualify as a talented USMNT either. No where near acceptable to be called a golden generation prior to this

 

[TheBigIguana]

Well that was an unexpected comeback. Not sure how good Soto can be but he knows where the net is. Weah is still good at this level but badly needs to push on. Not sure why Konrad de la Wright-Phillips is still starting every game but Llanez changed things for the better.

France will be disappointed but they have some real players. Zagadou has the tools but isnt mentally sharp enough yet. Diaby is brilliant and there is something about how Cuisance finds space I love.

I hear you but these guys are competing for spots against the generation directly ahead of them and behind them too. Talented players no doubt but it’s a stretch for any team to expect many from this level to make an impact with the full team. Just doesn’t happen very much.

 

[The Penny Blue]

I really think USA needs to play Llanez and Ledezma over de la Fuente and Mendez. Neither of the latter have had much to any impact on games besides the odd free kick or long shot from Mendez
